Global nature intelligence company, NatureMetrics, today announced it has raised £20m in Series B funding to rapidly scale its biodiversity monitoring solution. The funding round is led by Just Climate, alongside EDF Pulse Ventures and the Monaco ReOcean Fund, with participation from existing investors 2150, BNP Paribas, Ananda Impact Ventures and SWEN Blue Ocean.
With biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse ranked by the World Economic Forum as the third most significant global risk over the next decade, this funding milestone comes at a pivotal moment. It highlights the urgent need for transformative solutions as business and policy leaders seek to address the far-reaching impacts of biodiversity loss.
This investment enables NatureMetrics to build on its industry-leading position at the forefront of actionable nature intelligence, serving existing regulated industries with its transformative solution, while also supporting the rapidly expanding biodiversity reporting and compliance market, driven by new regulations coming into force.
The new funding will be used to:
- Enhance NatureMetrics' nature intelligence platform, delivering actionable biodiversity health insights to businesses and conservation organisations.
- Expand its data, AI, and digital capabilities to meet the growing complexity of nature-related data needs, including geospatial and bioacoustics data offerings.
- Broaden international reach, scaling services to meet global demand.
NatureMetrics specialises in delivering nature intelligence and environmental DNA (eDNA) solutions globally from its labs in the UK and Canada, with a partner lab in Indonesia. Its nature intelligence platform, powered by eDNA and advanced data analytics, provides businesses and conservation organizations with unparalleled insights into site-level biodiversity to manage risk, inform decision-making and track conservation change over time.
Companies can no longer afford to ignore their impact on ecosystems. Addressing nature-related risks isn't just about compliance—it's about future-proofing business operations and making meaningful contributions to a sustainable future. This investment will allow us to rapidly accelerate our solution—enabling businesses to understand nature across their supply chains and make informed operational and financial decisions. We are making nature data accessible and actionable, driving a shift towards a more sustainable global economy.
Dimple Patel, CEO
We believe that companies across industries seeking to protect and restore nature within their operations and supply chains lack the high-quality data they need to act with confidence. NatureMetrics combines the power of environmental DNA technology with a range of other data sources to generate actionable insights, and we are delighted to support their scale-up journey at a critical moment for global biodiversity action.
